Public bug reported:
Using Nvidia drivers with an Optimus laptop.
Using the integrated intel chip (prime-select intel), I cannot log in to
the gnome desktop, screen flashes and returns to login prompt.
Using Nvidia (prime-select nvidia) I am able to log in, to an X session
(no wayland option yet). In both gnome and unity, using nvidia 384.98
and 387.34, the session is highly unstable, and I get crashes from X,
gnome, firefox, chromium, and occasionally other applications including
apport.
This basically makes it impossible to do any CUDA development.
